The Saturday before Christmas we woke up, Jon made a great breakfast and the kids opened their gifts. We talked with Ava about why we give gifts at Christmas. She seems to understand, as much as a two year old can, that Christmas is about Christ. She knows that we are celebrating the birth of Christ and that Christmas is Jesus' birthday. She also knows that we give gifts to the people we love because God gave us the greatest gift, Jesus, to show us he loves us. It is precious to see our little girl understand the true meaning of Christmas and be excited about it being Jesus' birthday and not just the presents...so sweet!
Jon and Ava making a great breakfast...grits, eggs, sausage and chocolate chip pancakes!
Emet was more interested in the wrapping paper than the presents!
Ava loved her "Little People Learn About Town."

Emet got a rocking lion...it plays music when you press the buttons on his head!

Back in November we were blessed to be able to attend Bayleaf's Toy Chest. This is a ministry for seminary families that allows us to purchase toys at a very minimal cost. Our kids presents all came from there. This year we won a raffle item. No matter the raffle item, you purchase it for only $10. So, Ava is now the proud owner of a John Deere Gator. Thanks to Bayleaf for the blessing that they are to so many families. We are truly thankful!
She loved it! I even had to go back inside to get her bag, baby and sippy cup so she could carry it all in the tractor!
